An Interview!!

July 1, 2007 at 9:28 pm (Fun Blog Stuff, Moi)

01) tell us how you met your husband, fell in love, and decided to marry. i love details!

Good question and one of my favorite stories! Lets see if I can do this without writing a whole entry on this one question…LOL! When I met JD I was actually married to my ex-husband. We were seperated but still living together because financially I wasn’t in a position to move out, and frankly he was abusive and I was scared and didn’t think I had the strength to do it, I had tried so many times prior to this. Well one night one of my online girlfriends had decided to wanted to try the role playing games I was into (not sexual rping! More like magic fantasy type thing, like Harry Potter, LOTR type deal). Well I gave her the rundown on creating your character and into a room we went. And JD and I instantly noticed each other. That night we talked for hours in character as I IMed him out of char to get to know the person behind Dun’arin (char name). It was love at first type I think for both of us, and our characters too! It just took off from there, we still rp’ed occasionally but mostly got to know each other, finally talked on the phone, and fell madly in love. We had realized we met our soulmates in each other! He gave me the strength I needed and the self-confidence I needed to move out of the ex’s and to get my divorce. The day of my divorce he asked me to be his girlfriend, one month later he came to visit me for the first time (he was in NC, I was in IL), a month or so after that came back for another visit bringing half of his belongings and then a month after that came back again for good! We sent letters, boxes full of cute stuff to each other, racked up serious hours on the phone, and fell in love with the distance of 800 miles in between us. We still have all the letters and cards too! Our first Christmas together he proposed to me while I had a mouthful of sausage biscuit LOL! I said yes and laughed and cried at the same time. Meeting and falling in love with him was the best thing that ever happened to me! And someday we are going to write a book together about our characters that we created, so Mandy if we ever do, you are assured a copy! LOL! How was that for detailed??

02) if you were to be in the movie industry, would you be a writer, director, or actress? and why?

Wow, now this requires some thought. I think it would be awesome to write a movie, I don’t think I would want to direct a movie that doesn’t appeal to me, and I would definitely love to act in a movie as everyone has always said what a flair for the dramatics I have!! Hehe!

03) what was the most difficult life experience you have had so far? what have you learned from it?

Honestly there have been so many that I would consider difficult that it’s hard to say just one. But I think that being married to a man that was abusive in every sense of the word and then finally having the strength to walk away taught me that I should never base my self-worth on what another person says I am. For 5 years I thought so little of myself because of him and I had no confidence in anything I did. Still to this day I have residual issues from that. But I have always said if I had to do it over I would go through it all again because I am a stronger person for it, and everything happens for a reason. That 5 years was just part of my broken road to get me to where I am today, and even if I still sometimes regress into my thinking little of myself, I know that I truly am a stronger person for getting out, and not letting someone do that to me again.

04) what would you most like to change about your life this year?

Well, the year is half over, and the first half has been kind of bumpy for JD and I. But things are improving daily, so I think that I am already changing what I would most like to change, as is he. We are improving our marriage, remembering how in love we used to be and getting back to that. I wish there were some hurtful things I could erase to make it easier, but I can’t, so I am working on letting that shit go, as hard as it is to do. I wish I could change my thinking so I didn’t dwell so much and could just forget and forgive and move on. So that’s what I am working on changing!

05) what is your greatest personal strength?

Gosh, I don’t know that I have one of those! LOL! Dang you Mandy…that’s a tough question, especially to ask someone who often refused to see the good in herself!! I had to consult JD on that one and he said my loyalty in friendship. I think I would have to agree with that statement. Except I would also have to disagree. It would be more of a personal strength if I could manage to spread that loyalty out to all of my friends instead of just the ones I see on a daily basis. So it is, but it isn’t as well. And that is actually a little depressing, I think I will be working on changing that as well!
